I have seen many videos of the common mini riots in Los Angeles because of sports games. I've seen people whose cars were surrounded, the windows smashed and the driver and passengers hauled out and beaten. All while the police stand down and watch. I have always wondered why people allowed this to happen to them. Step on the gas. Just plow through them. A car is a deadly weapon. No one has to just take a beating if they are inside a car. Just run them over.

It's inaccurate to call this the "Oakland Strike" when it's really city-wide vandalism that was actually condoned by the city government. The resident taxpayers will be picking up the tab. The city fathers will be tossed (at least some of them), but get their traditional Kalifornia style pensions.

Oakland has always been an arm pit of the left coast octopus. What will Obama, Pelosi, and the other Democrats that announced solidarity with the protesters say now? And has Jerry Brown reacted to this?

But I predict that Michael Moore will make a cult movie out of this, and Hollywood will have lots of footage for future armageddon themed movies.

Four boxes keep us free: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.

It really wasn't a strike. They shut down the port because of violence, and 300 teachers didn't go to work other than that it was business as usual. That's why the OWS shitters started smashing up businesses. It was the only way to close them.
